Anaesthesiology is a field in medicine that focuses on caring for patients before, during, and after surgery, ensuring their comfort and safety by administering anaesthesia and monitoring their vital signs.

An anaesthesiologist is responsible for evaluating a patient’s medical history, allergies, vital signs, and other factors to determine the most suitable anaesthesia method. They administer anaesthesia, monitor the patient’s condition throughout the procedure, and ensure their comfort and safety.

At KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals, different types of anaesthesia are used depending on the procedure and patient’s needs. These include local anaesthesia, regional anaesthesia such as spinal or epidural anaesthesia, and general anaesthesia.

Local anaesthesia is used for minor procedures to numb a specific area and provide pain relief. It allows patients to remain awake during the procedure while minimizing discomfort.

Regional anaesthesia, such as spinal or epidural anaesthesia, is used when a specific region of the body needs to be numbed for surgery. It provides pain relief while allowing patients to remain conscious or lightly sedated, depending on the situation.

General anaesthesia is used for surgeries where the patient needs to be completely unconscious and pain-free. It involves medications that induce a deep sleep-like state, allowing the surgical procedure to be performed without any awareness or discomfort.

The priorities of anaesthesiologists at KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals are patient safety and comfort. They strive to make surgeries smooth and painless for every patient by utilizing the best and safest methods tailored to each individual’s needs.
